AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered: a quite rare and sought-after Nikkor-H.C 50mm f 1 : 2.0 lens in Leica Thread Mount (LTM 39) version. The lens was produced by Nippon Kogaku K.K. (Nikon) in the late 1950s and early 1960s, in very limited numbers. The H.C. coating (Super Coated) provides excellent contrast rendering, deep color tones, and the characteristic vintage “Nikkor glow” at full aperture. A chance to own a piece of photographic history – rarely found, especially in this condition.
Specifications of the lens:
• Focal length: 50mm
• Maximum aperture: f 1 : 2.0
• Mount: Leica Thread Mount (M39)
• Optics: Nikkor-S.C. (Super Coated)
• Origin: Japan, ca. 1959–1962
• Serial number: 652795
The lens is in reasonable vintage condition:
• Glass scratches on the front element and haze (CLA recommended)
• Aperture blades clean and smooth
• Focus ring turns smoothly
• Cosmetic condition: very nice with minimal signs of wear
Comes with a front and rear lens cap.
See the separately offered NICCA 3 -S body for which this lens is very well suited.
